Keep calm and put your earpiece on. No flowers in planters on my balcony for me this summer nor any of the other tenants in our eight floor lowrise. They have started taking down all the balcony railings and will refinish all the balconies. This will take them almost all summer. It's not always noisy but when it is, it's horrible!

Your garden looks so great Cindy!!! Things are really coming up! I can't plant here yet because we are still having light frosts off and on. I loved seeing the little raccoons that came to stay with you. They are darling.sending hugs...

Your garden is just beautiful. Have you enjoyed your first fruits yet? We did so raised beds a few years ago and I enjoyed it so much until the stink bugs came. ha. But each year I learn a little bit more and it is fun to see all of your hard work rewarded with delicious food. So enjoy.HugsBecky

Cindy, Your gardening project looks so fresh and successful--I'm sure it is rewarding. I had to smile when I read your title: "How Does Your Garden Grow," because mine doesn't! I have a black thumb. I can grow herbs, roses, lavender, and geranium because they really don't need much tending. Otherwise, I'm hopeless. :-)

Your neat and tidy garden is just gorgeous. I love just sitting and watching a garden grow sometimes! (I know how much work it is!) Loved your darling raccoon post. I had no idea young ones could be so tame. I know that story changes! I hope you're enjoying summer! So nice to know you came by!
